What is Immuno Haematology Blood Transfusion (IHBT)?

In an Immunohematology and Blood Transfusion (IHBT) department, various procedures are performed to ensure safe and effective blood transfusions and to manage blood-related disorders.

Here are some common procedures

  • Blood Typing - Determining the ABO and Rh blood group of a patient to ensure compatibility for transfusions.
  • Antibody Screening - Testing a patient’s blood for unexpected antibodies that could react with transfused blood.
  • Crossmatching - Laboratory test to ensure compatibility between donor and recipient blood before transfusion.
  • Direct Coombs Test - Assessing for the presence of antibodies attached to red blood cells, indicating conditions like hemolytic anaemia.
  • Indirect Coombs Test- Screening for antibodies in the serum that could react with red blood cells.

  • Whole Blood Collection - Collecting whole blood from donors, which can be separated into its components.
  • Component Separation - Processing collected blood into its components—red blood cells, plasma, platelets, and cryoprecipitate—for specific therapeutic use.

  • Transfusion of Red Blood Cells - Administering packed red blood cells to treat anaemia or blood loss.
  • Platelet Transfusion - Providing platelets to patients with low platelet counts or bleeding disorders.
  • Plasma Transfusion - Administering fresh frozen plasma to patients with clotting disorders or liver disease.
  • Transfusion Reaction Management - Monitoring and managing any adverse reactions during or after transfusions.

  • Pre-Transfusion Checks - Ensuring patient identification and verifying blood product details before administration.
  • Storage and Handling - Maintaining proper storage conditions for blood products to ensure safety and efficacy.
